 ====Data generated in the Sackler and Optical labs====
+At the two Observatory laboratories data is produced by the instruments acquisition board and stored locally on lab computers. Data that will be used in further processing can be stored on the ''%%Lab Sackler%%'' share. This share is located on the High Availability EqualLogic disk cluster, though a Windows file server.
+This share is accessible both from the data acquisition equipment and from the personal desktops of the lab associates. The storage device is on a special secure medium and is snapshotted regularly as a form of backup.
+Users are responsible for keeping track of the data and retaining its integrity. The Windows accounts and access rights can help in this task.
 ====Data produced by theoretical work and simulations====
+As a result of theoretical calculations or model simulations, data may be produced that are further processed to allow astronomical interpretation. These calculations can take place on the desktop or on server levels, where storing the data will most efficiently be done on the local-to-the-cpu storage devices. So either the local disks of the desktop or the local attached disk devices for the servers.
+Similarly to the data processing for data coming from the big observatories it is the users responsibility keep track of the data and its integrity. As most of this processing is done on the Linux computing environment, similar facilities can help out in this process.
